RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Table of PC based controllers published

Fred:

Thanks. I'll be sure to save that URL for future use. I looked through your
list and have some suggestions and a comment.

First the suggestions:

- Add a column denoting availability of source code to the end user.
TurboCNC and EMC would have a "Y" for this category. I'm not sure of the
others.

- Add a column for the url to any user list that supports the software.
These are often a good reference for information

Now the comment:

For the column "4th axis" I assume that you're indicating whether or not the
controller can support more than the traditional 3 axes (X, Y, Z) such as a
rotary table or some other. If that's the case, TurboCNC should have a "Y"
in that column. But, I'd suggest that you change the heading of "4th axis"
to Number of axes. In that case, TurboCNC would have an "8" in the column
and I believe that EMC would have more than a "4"
